Aunty Jane criticises your character for not actually being clever, instead simply choosing the right answer out of a 50/50 probability - and I felt like this was what the game was for the most part, a series of 50/50 answers that happen to be right.

Whether or not your answer was able to get a response that gave you a clue rarely had anything to do with the characters you were engaging with. Mum likes to be flattered and Aunty Jane likes to win, but otherwise, character responses felt random + continuity between conversations, rare.

Felt like the difficulty progression stayed relatively flat through the game (completed every level (and their alternate solves) of this in about an hour! Way too easy), and was disappointed to see certain themes (and the mechanics they came with) under-utilised, like the werewolf and the vampire. All of these had potential to add some difficulty, but only stuck around for a couple levels each.

Otherwise the schtick of the game is clever even if the puzzles themselves weren’t (reminded me of Professor Layton a bit) and the way the puzzles changed as you made edits was very satisfying to watch!
